A good rule of thumb... old cars... get them running and driving and THEN worry about paint!!!!
When a guys does it the other way around,,,,,, well many times it will never get to the running/driving stage, for many various reasons, thus just a garage ornament, till the wife says "please get rid of that old car!"

I hear ya Im am almost done but dont ask how many years and $$$ was spent plus what they dont tell ya is ya get older and slower LOL!
actually my wife has been like "I sure miss riding in it..." in my case career sucked up alot of time but hey I needed the $$$ to buy parts and supplies :)

what nobody tells you is, every nut bolt weatherstrip clip and washer kit ,it all costs $$$ yes you can use used bolts and soak in evaporust do you have time? or do you want to cut in the fenders and doors and bolt them on? all of it costs now ...I've spent more time collecting parts and that time factors in, in the old days it was attending swap meets and combing the yards now it s go online and pay shipping but it costs.

Take YT I know a guy is full of it when they say "were going to have this car ready for power tour" and Power tour is 9 months out and the car is a complete heap...yeah click bait wrenching skills aside you need a big purse to pull it off in 9 months.
